This paper discusses vehicle-routeing and scheduling problems subject to time window restriction and time-varying traffic congestion. Time-varying congestion increases the complications of the problems and, in fact, makes it challenging even to find feasible solutions. Numerous heuristics have been developed for problems with time windows only, but few for those with both time windows and time-varying congestion. The authors identify a simple yet robust
